Convert gold weight between grams and tola in either direction. Select the conversion you need, enter the gold weight, and calculate the equivalent amount using the standard conversion of 1 tola = 11.6638125 grams.
Convert grams to tola or tola to grams.
Tola is a unit of mass. Gold purity does not change the basic grams-to-tola or tola-to-grams conversion.
The standard modern conversion used for gold is 1 tola = 11.6638125 grams. To convert grams into tola, divide the weight in grams by 11.6638125.
For example, 100 grams of gold converts to approximately 8.57353 tola.
To convert tola into grams, multiply the number of tola by 11.6638125.
For example, 5 tola of gold weighs:
| Gold Weight | Equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 gram | ≈ 0.0857353 tola |
| 5 grams | ≈ 0.4286765 tola |
| 10 grams | ≈ 0.857353 tola |
| 11.6638125 grams | 1 tola |
| 20 grams | ≈ 1.714706 tola |
| 50 grams | ≈ 4.286765 tola |
| 100 grams | ≈ 8.57353 tola |
| 500 grams | ≈ 42.86765 tola |
| 1 kilogram | ≈ 85.7353 tola |
Tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass that is still encountered in gold trading and jewellery markets. The modern standardized tola used for precious-metal calculations is defined as 11.6638125 grams.
Because gold is frequently quoted or sold using different weight units, converting to a common unit can make weights easier to compare.
No. The conversion is based on the mass unit itself. One tola of 24K gold and one tola of 18K gold have the same gross mass: 11.6638125 grams.
Purity becomes important when calculating the amount of fine gold contained within an alloy.
For example, if a 2-tola item is 18K, its gross weight is:
The approximate fine-gold content at 75% purity would then be:
Gold prices can be quoted using grams, troy ounces, tola and other units. Before comparing two prices, make sure both prices refer to the same weight unit and the same purity basis.
A gram-based price can be converted to a tola equivalent by multiplying the price by 11.6638125.
A price quoted per tola can be divided by 11.6638125 to determine the equivalent price per gram, before considering purity or other pricing factors.
A price for 24K gold should not automatically be compared with an 18K jewellery price without accounting for the difference in gold content and other costs.
| Unit | Equivalent in Grams |
|---|---|
| 1 gram | 1 g |
| 1 tola | 11.6638125 g |
| 1 troy ounce | 31.1034768 g |
| 1 pennyweight | 1.55517384 g |
| 1 grain | 0.06479891 g |
| 1 kilogram | 1,000 g |
These units describe mass. They should not be confused with gold purity, fineness or market price.
A grams-to-tola and tola-to-grams converter can be useful when comparing jewellery specifications, bullion weights, inventory records and gold quotations that use different measurement systems.
It is particularly useful when one source provides a weight in grams while another uses tola. Converting both values into the same unit makes direct comparison much easier.
For actual physical gold, the stated weight, fineness, assay information and product specifications should be checked independently.
This calculator performs a weight conversion. It does not determine gold authenticity, purity, market value, dealer pricing or jewellery-making charges.
It also does not use live gold prices. Price calculations should account separately for the relevant gold rate, purity, premiums, labour charges, taxes and other applicable costs.
One standard tola equals exactly 11.6638125 grams.
Divide the weight in grams by 11.6638125.
Multiply the weight in tola by 11.6638125.
No. The conversion is based on mass and is independent of purity.
100 grams is approximately 8.57353 tola.
10 tola equals 116.638125 grams.
Yes. Tola is a traditional unit of mass commonly encountered in South Asian gold markets.
No. It converts weight only and does not require a gold price.
